I cannot wait for Thanksgiving. And I ESPECIALLY can't wait until it's over. I love T-Givingz, don't get me wrong, but once it's over I can watch Buddytheelfwhat'syourfavoritecolor and sing Jingle Bells as much as I want and not feel guilty about it.

I'll also be able to make a wishlist, though I kind of already started. All I really want at the moment is foreign magazines and more origami supplies and more Kiyohiko Azuma and the D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths. As for clothes, I put "tartan/studs/leather/plaid/ripped/Courtney Love-ish stuff" and "Lolita dresses" but chances are slim my parents would be buying me that.

This morning I wore a top my mom's friend gave me upside-down and as a skirt. I tied it at the waist with some random black tights I found within the depths of my closet and threw on my shiny black American Apparel leggings(and APPARENTLY someone hacked into my blog and promised a post on these. It's coming, just bear with me!)

Due to the non-epicness, non-Belleness of my necklace collection, I couldn't find anything good and morbid and shiny enough to drape my neck in. There were coat hangers lying around everywhere since my closet is such a mess, so I figured I'd be "resourceful" and give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to see that people at school were grabbing at my shiny legs, rather than trying to strangle me with my coat hanger. It got kind of uncomfortable though so I took it off before lunch.

Another pleasant surprise was to see that I won last week's Cardigan Look contest at Weardrobe! They have a new one every week for a $50 gift card, mine was to Urban Outfitters and I can't wait until it comes.

haha, and mostly I just wanted a post that had something to do with my sweaters, cause I think they are singularly the most awesome pieces of clothing Ive ever worn ever. and I like the title "The Sweater Effect"

I guess we just dont agree with things. Or just you take things really personally.

If you say fashion is "art" to you, then I think youve proclaimed yourself to be an artist. As well as Belle. you both said it on my post about a month ago on what blogging was about. There is no need to call me stupid.

Stylish Wanderer-I didn't call you stupid, and if I in any way implied that, I'm very sorry. When I said I didn't understand the point you were getting across, I was responding to the part in your post where you asked for opinions on the post. As for the artist part, I can't really add anything to that argument because I've already explained my view and I see no point in having another comment back-and-forth. No, I suppose we don't agree on some things, but everyone has different ideas. I don't share your opinions but I respect them.

The top as a skirt is amazing!As for the lack of big shiny necklaces, have you seen what Queen Michelle from the Kingdom of Style has discovered? Big shiny Christmas decorations make wonderful bling bling for the neck. And I'm sure that if you tried a metal hanger, you won't have a problem trying out that. Keep up the good work! Jingle bells, jingle bells...

but i've been wondering.your 12 so your in what like 7th grade, at middle school i assume. what do people think of your outfits at school, i could imagine your somewhat of an speticle..do people ever comment or give you looks..are you known as the girl who dresses well?

Haha, everyone always tries to cop a feel when I'm wearing those shiny leggings too! And I am totally impressed by your ability to turn a coat hanger into an awesome necklace. You to me is what Kate Lanphear is to some other people. OMGFASHIONICONksdfnsl.

D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths is quite fabulous. I hope you get it, because I've enjoyed it since I was six, and the pictures in it are so inspirational - I'm sure you could get some outfit ideas from it, too.
